Client Acknowledgements.

Client understands, acknowledges, and agrees that:

Client understands that all work for monthly maintenance tasks will be scheduled according to ORB Technology Solutions Inc.’ workflow. We have a process and maintain sites for many Clients, therefore all website updates work that counts towards your monthly time allowance is done on a first come first serve basis, except in the case of a total website down issue, which would be considered an “emergency.”

Failure by Client to answer a question critical to the completion of a task within 5 business days may cause that task to be and moved to the “end of the line” in our work queue. Depending on the time of month, this could cause that task to roll over into the next month’s bucket of update requests.

The amount of time allocated for updates to text, images, and other minor changes, is determined by the Maintenance Package that they purchased and will be billed in fifteen (15) minute increments.

Once the time allocated in their Maintenance Package has been reached for the month, any unfinished tasks on the Client’s task list will be rolled into the next month for processing.

All monthly updates are scheduled at our convenience and in accordance with our schedule. We have a process and a workflow that we use to maintain all of our clients’ websites in a fair and orderly fashion. The only exception being in the case of Client’s website being totally offline or down for some reason, in which case their issue would be considered an ‘emergency’ and would take priority.

Should the Client wish to have additional tasks completed in the same month, they will be billed on an hourly basis of $50 per hour.

Client understands that if they provide ORB Technology Solutions Inc. with a maintenance task and the task has been completed, then they wish to make changes to the task, any additional time to make these changes will count towards the monthly allowance of time.

Website updates exclude, but are not limited to, image editing, graphic design, graphic editing, database design, database changes, programming, and search engine optimization.

Website updates do not include website redesign, re-alignment or re-development equaling more than 50% change to web page, web graphics on the website (i.e. 4 graphics on website, and you want 3 changed, there is a charge for anything above 2, meaning 50%).

CMS design, integration of plugins that require intensive configuration, or programming of things that require extensive time to set up, including but not limited to blogs, shopping carts, API integrations with third party services, and web forums are not considered “minor” changes and therefore are not included in the Maintenance Agreement. These require a separate design or development agreement.

Maintenance Agreement does not include training on how to use your website, WordPress, or email, but we can provide training at additional cost.

Maintenance Agreement does not include training on search engine optimization (SEO) or other online digital marketing.

All communications will be done during regular business hours, which are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM (CST).

If the Client’s website is not hosted with ORB Technology Solutions Inc., we have no control over Client’s hosting company in regard to server downtime, incompatibilities with software, PHP compatibility issues, etc.

If the Client’s email accounts are not hosted with ORB Technology Solutions Inc., we can’t be responsible for Client’s email issues or troubleshooting problems on their own computer. Our role is to maintain and keep your website running at its optimal capabilities. We are not your IT team.

ORB Technology Solutions Inc. has no control over the policies of search engines or directories with respect to the type of sites and/or content that they accept now or in the future.

ORB Technology Solutions Inc. is not responsible for third-party plugins that may become unusable as a result of Maintenance Services performed.

ORB Technology Solutions Inc. will not repair Client’s website(s) that became compromised, hacked, or otherwise defaced or infected prior to ordering Maintenance Services.

Scheduling of Maintenance Tasks.

Because of the nature of our business, we are juggling multiple maintenance clients, on top of several large web design projects, at any given time. Because time is at a premium, we don’t take on more Clients than we can handle, however, scheduling is a priority for us. We schedule all work for the month in advance to maintain a workflow that is conducive for our business and for all of our Clients. When we take on a maintenance Client they are given a set amount of time in our schedule for maintenance tasks that can be done each month that are counted towards their monthly time allotment. Please understand that the scheduling of these tasks is totally at the discretion of ORB Technology Solutions Inc.. The only time we put one Client’s tasks for another Client’s place in line is in the case of an emergency. Unless a website problem interrupts your business monetarily, for instance an eCommerce site that goes down or has problems with checkouts, or it is totally down or offline, it is not considered an emergency. We will provide the amount of time you have contracted for each month towards updates, however we do it in accordance with our schedule. This is the only way we can be fair to all of our Clients.

Additional Services – Additional services not listed herein will be provided for a fee ($150 per hour for development services and $75 per hour for content updates). Search engine optimization (SEO), developing new content, or writing new copy for Client are not included in Maintenance Packages.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)

If Search Engine Optimization services are selected & purchased, Company agrees to provide Customer with Search Engine Optimization (hereinafter referred to as SEO) as described in this agreement. SEO will attempt to improve Customer’s website ranking of site(s) agreed upon in the Order for the “Primary Organic Location.” Only one (1) domain may be optimized per campaign. Optimization will target key search engines such as Google, Yahoo & Bing.

Customer agrees to pay Company the monthly fee indicated in the Order form “Project Scope / Marketing Service Order” (initialed to indicate agreement of fee) for provided services. This fee will include making any necessary changes and/or additions to the website if there were significant drops or decreases in rankings during the time of service.

The Agreement is serviced on a Term basis. Once the Initial Term has been completed, the service will continue as a Month-to Month agreement. The Customer can cancel the renewal in writing via email or standard mail services at least 30 days prior to renewal date. The renewal cancellation must be executed in writing via standard email or mail services (faxes, or phone calls are insufficient). If not cancelled at least 30 days prior to expiration, Customer will be billed for 1-months service upon cancellation to cover labor and out of pocket expenses incurred by Company.

SEO services are intended to provide the Customer with higher positioning in selected search engines. SEO services include (but not limited to):

Optimizing the Customer’s website or listing (maps) with the keywords stated in this agreement in order to place the Customer’s website or listing (maps) on the first page results for the minimum agreed (above) number of terms.

Add or edit html tags, meta tags, alt tags, title attributes, robots tags, and page text as necessary.

Create on and off-site blogs, press releases, articles or content submissions.

Submit customer to citation / listing sites, search engines, social media sites, blogs or forums.

Submit the website to search engines. Continue to submit new pages / content.

Monitor website and listings for placement. Analyze analytics for performance.

For the purposes of providing these services, Customer agrees to provide one of the three options below:

Option 1: FTP access to the main site for uploading new pages and making mutually agreed changes in order to achieve and maintain positioning. The Customer must provide the Company with current passwords and User IDs needed to gain remote access to the Customer’s web site files via FTP software. The Customer must alert anyone else that has access to the website, that the Company is currently working on those files, and not to make any non-confirmed changes to the files.

Any changes to optimized content could result in negative effects to the campaign. Customer agrees to the following restrictions while this agreement is in effect:

The meta-tags or static HTML pages prepared for your website must not be altered in any way.

  1. The meta-tags or static HTML pages prepared for your website must not be removed or deleted from your site for at least the duration of our one-year agreement. Please ensure these files are not deleted while maintenance of your website is being carried out.
  1. Page(s) cannot produce pop-ups or under-pops as most search engine spiders do not tolerate pop-ups and thus will not index infected pages.

While spidering your website, if a search engine does not find the promoted pages, your site may lose valuable positioning and/or be removed entirely from that particular search engine. If it is necessary to change the file and/or folder names relating to the work we completed, please let us know of these changes so we can amend our submission files. This information is crucial for search engine positioning.

Any and all of our guarantee’s assumes your website is properly administered/maintained. Extended downtime and/or significant DNS failures inhibit indexing, spidering, and any possibility our work will achieve Page One Placement ranking.

Option 2: Where FTP access is not possible, Customer agrees to provide an email address of a technician who can upload requested changes on a timely basis. However, the Company cannot be held responsible for delays once the technician has been notified of the upload request. A copy of the request will be sent to Customer.

Option 3: The username and password needed to access the Customer website from the Customer control panel. Customer authorizes Company’s use of all Customer logos, trademarks, Web site images, etc., for use in creating optimized pages as deemed necessary by the Company for Page One Placement purposes. Customer agrees to provide content in regard to particular keywords as needed by the Company. Company cannot be held responsible if our work is fully or partially overwritten by Customer or any third party.

Customer acknowledges the following with respect to services:

Company has no control over the policies of search engines with respect to the type of sites and/or content that they accept now or in the future. Customer site may be excluded from any search engine or directory at any time at the sole discretion of the search engine or directory. If the web pages are dropped by any search engine at anytime, the Company will resubmit the web pages and attempt to get them listed back.

Due to the competitiveness of some keywords/phrases, ongoing changes in search engine ranking algorithms and other competitive factors, Company does not guarantee #1 positions or consistent first page positions for any particular keyword, phrase or search term. As a particular keyword can be ranked #3 one day, and the very next day be ranked #14, only to reappear the following day back in the #3 position. However, the company will guarantee to keep the Customer’s website ranked on Google in some capacity for at least 75% of the duration of this agreement.

Occasionally, search engines will stop accepting submissions for an indefinite period of time, but this is very rare. Occasionally, search engines will drop listings for no apparent or predictable reason. Often listings will “reappear” without any additional submissions. Should the listing not reappear, the Company will re-submit the site based on the current policies of the search engine in question.
